I didn't "normalize" anything. You're looking at nationwide averages when the reality can vary wildly according to specific area. In the Republican stronghold states especially there are plenty that are responsible from keeping those averages from being noticeably higher. I've got to go, so no time to research this now, but I'll wager there's plenty of areas in southern states & maybe the Bible belt where that income would be considered pretty decent.

Yes, it would be more decent in the poorer areas with even higher rates of being rent overburdened, higher rates of poverty.

You gave an average, I gave an average.

You wanna break it all down state by state, both metrics, you'll still find the same broad trend, using averages is a neat way to talk about broad trends without outputting a full 30 page comprehensive analysis.

Not in the statistical sense, no.

But your massive internalized privilege has left you bereft of a realistic frame of reference for how bad the economic situation really is for so many millions of Americans.

You've thus normalized, in your own mind, the idea of it being ok for a massive chunk of society to be in a horrendously precarious material and financial position.

I quoted a job posting from a link provided by someone else.

Wow, talk about assumptions and leaps in logic! I did no such thing, nor do I believe such things.

Whatever, you're obviously too enraged to be objective & I've gotta go.
